I can't believe it! It seems like only last week we were in staff training, getting ready for all the incoming residents. Now, they are all leaving. :-( I have been through move-out three times now and it doesn't get any easier. Yet, somehow, I think this one is the hardest. I have made so many close friends that it is hard to see them all leave. Being the staff member (even one who got fired) and having to stay until next Wednesday is going to be hard. Everyone will be gone. It is my job to be strong for everyone, when all I really want to do is hug them all and hold them and never let them go. I am doing my best to savor every moment with them. The hardest one to let go was Brian because I know that he will be the one I see least this summer. Now that he is gone, it will be a little easier to say goodbye to those I will get to see more often this summer. Yet, I still don't want them to go. I have to keep going with the checkouts on my floor. Every time I stop or have a break, I end up breaking down in tears in my room.
It's not "goodbye," it is "I'll see you soon"
I love you guys.
